And America has the highest incarceration rate in the world, both in absolute numbers, and relative to population (only China and India have higher populations, and they have fewer people incarcerated). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate

Feb 24, 2017 at 2:42 comment added Andy No you're not. Not even close to objectively true.
Feb 24, 2017 at 2:41 comment added Tom Au @Andy: I decapitalized "felony" to tone down the comment. Otherwise, I'm telling it like it is. What I said is objectively true.

Feb 24, 2017 at 1:49 comment added Andy I'm not aware of any reason an American can't go on an anti-American rant. Plenty of people here seem to hate the country. But a rant is still a rant.
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:35 comment added Tom Au @Andy: I am an American, and I am just trying to tell travelers "how it is" in certain parts of the country (even though it probably shouldn't be the case). And why (commercial reasons.) This is particularly true of a country that just elected the most commercially minded President in recent history (although my answer predates the 2016 election).
Feb 24, 2017 at 1:05 comment added Andy This just seems like a borderline anti-American rant than an answer.
Dec 17, 2014 at 15:05 comment added Tom Au @DavidRicherby: If using a computer in a casino, a FELONY, doesn't get you arrested, I don't know what will. And when I talk about begging or other disrupting commercial activity being "out," I'm really talking about the possibility of your getting arrested. That should be clear from the context.

Dec 17, 2014 at 14:42 comment added David Richerby This doesn't answer the question, which is about the consequences of loitering, not about whether you can sleep in a store or library or use a computer in a casino.
